Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has criticised the 2024 mid-year budget, describing it as uninspiring and hopeless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam Member of Parliament attributed this sentiment to what he sees as a consistent pattern of the Akufo-Addo administration.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, July 23, Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam presented the 2024 mid-year budget review to Parliament.<\/p>\n

During his address, Dr. Amin Adam emphasized the government\u2019s commitment to fiscal discipline, assuring that they would adhere to budgetary allocations and manage expenditures carefully to avoid overspending.<\/p>\n

Despite these assurances, Dr. Ato Forson expressed his concerns to the media in Parliament, urging Ghanaians to brace for more hardship.<\/p>\n

The former Deputy Minister for Finance argued that the government missed an opportunity to provide relief by abolishing certain taxes, which could have cushioned Ghanaians and businesses alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mid-year review leaves many people disappointed and uninspired. It gives no hope to hope to the ordinary Ghanaian that anything will be done to change the unbearable hardships that confront the people of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last eight (8) years, Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have burdened Ghanaian businesses and individuals with high tax regime,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
